I am not an arborist, not do I play one on TV. I assume that watering
any tree should follow the same rules - away from the trunk, and 5 to 10
feet away, over the roots - - but, I do believe that the trees,
unlike humans, know what to do. NO water - well - they do know how to
adapt, especially the native trees - like pecans.
